Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama, 'Padmavati', is set to go on floors next month and while the filmmaker is known to take his own sweet time to complete his projects, he has already set a deadline for wrapping up his next.

The 70th anniversary edition of the film fiesta is scheduled to be held from May 17 to 28, 2017.
